NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

srEcrrIcATroN vfomiing part of Letters Patent No. 737,301, dated August 25, 1903. Application filed September 13, 1902. 'Serial No. 123,294. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern,.-

Beit known that I, DAVID W. TURK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cleveland,county of Cuyahoga, State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non Refillable Bottles, of which I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable Others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates toimprovements in non-reiillable bottles; and the objects are to provide a simple and efficient device for the purpose which can be readily attached to any bottle ofcommon form and cannot be detached therefrom without breaking the neck of the bottle.

My invention consists Vin a stop-valve located in the neck of the bottle and in the extensible sleeves and clamping devices employed in connection therewith, as'hereinaf- Ater described, shown-in the accompanying drawings, and specifically pointed out in the ciaims. v

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical central section of a bottle-neck in which is placed r'ny non-refilling device. Fig.

2 is a View of the key by means of which the parts are secured tightly together and to the bottle. Fig. 3 is a detail view of outer sleeve, and Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the valve holder or chamber. Fig. 5 is an exterior view of lower sleeve. Fig. 6 is a similar view showing the valve-chamber integral with the lower sleeve; and Fig. 7 is a transverse section of valve-holder, showing catches by means of which it is screwed into place, somewhat :modified from Fig. 1.

In the views, 1 is the neck of the bottle. 2 is a lining or packing-sleeve or thimble which ts tightly about the outer edge. This servesl as a Yfoundation for the elongated sleeve or lining 4, which is provided with a iange 5, The lower end of the sleeve 4 is internally screwthreaded at 6 with a left-hand screw-thread. Screwed to this is the inner sleeve 7, which extends to the lower edge of the neck if the neck is tapered or into the bottle if the neck is straight. A ange 8 terminates the corner end of this sleeve, upon which rests the tapered sleeve 9. A heavy packing 10 of elastic materialis interposed between this sleeve and the neck of the bottle. Within the inner sleeve is placed the valve-chamber 11, which is cylindrical at the base and is supplied with a ball-valve 12 and tapered valve-seat 13. Above the valve-seata thin partition is placed to limit the movement of the valve. The pointed shell of the chamber is provided with elongated openings 15 on its vertical sides and with a small perforation 16 at its apex, the

uses of which will be further described. The

shell ofthe chamber is provided at its lower end with a right-handed screw-thread at 17, which corresponds with the internal screwthread at the upper end of the inner sleeve.

The device is attached` to the neck of the' bottle in the following manner: In Fig. 2 is .shown a forked Akey 18, which' is formed of thin liat meial,fsuitable for insertion between the shell of the valve-chamber andthe upper sleeve. At the lower extremity of each forkv Fig. 7. Catches 20 are formed in the side of vthe chamber.

In this case the lugs 19 are omit-ted,since the chamber can only be turned in one direction.

In Fig. 7 is shown a sectional view of 'the chamber 11. Here the openings 20 have iuclined edges at one side, the opposite edges remaining rectangular. It will be seen that the edges of the forked key will engage the rectangular edges of the openings whenscrewing up the chamber into place, but will slip iO from the inclined edges when the key is turned the other way. Hence while it is easy to fasten the chamber in place itis impossible to uuscrew it. If the openings 2O are made large enough, the `tines of the forked key will engage the rectangular edges withlUU out the addition of the pivoted lugs 19, which may then be dispensed with.

The upper portion of the valve-chamber is hardened metal and pointed, so that it cannot be pierced by a drill, and all parts save the packing are sheet metal, preferably hardened non -corrosive metal. The ball is so placed that any pressure from the mouth of the bottle, as of fluid entering therein, will instantly force against the seat, and the perforated partition or screw will prevent it from falling away from close proximity thereto.

The tapered sleeve has for its obj ect to form a smooth bearing upon which the inner sleeve can turn, so that the frictional resistance `of the elastic packing 3 will be received upon the taper sleeve and not upon the inner one.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-f l. In combination with the neck of a bottle, outer and inner sleeves, a flange at the opposite extremities of each sleeve, and elastic packing about the inner extremity of the inner sleeve, a perforated valve-chamber provided with a conical center point, a valve and valve-seat in said chamber, a perforated partition closely adjacent to said valve, adapted to limit its movements, and means for securing the chamber and sleeve rigidly together and tothe neck of the bottle, substantially as described.

2. In combination with the neck of a bottle, outer and innersleeves, a flange on each sleeve at its open extremity, an elastic packing on the inner sleeve, and a packing on the outer sleeve, a valve-chamber provided with perforations and with a conical point at one extremity and with a valve-seat at the other and inner extremity, a ball-valve in said chamber and a perforated partition above said valve, means for forcibly drawing together said sleeves and a tapered sleeve upon the lower sleeve upon which the elastic packing is expanded when the parts are drawn together, substantially as described.

3. In combination with the neck of abottle, inner and outer sleeves, the said sleeves being provided with flanges at their opposite extremities, a packing on the outer sleeve adapted to engage the outer extremity of the neck, and elastic packing on the innersleeve adapted to engage the inner extremity of the neck where it enters the bottle, a spreader therefor upon the inner sleeve, a perforated Valvechamber and valve within the inner sleeve, a valve-seat in said chamber, and means for securing the parts together, consisting of lefthand screw-threads connecting the sleeves, right hand threads connecting the inner sleeve and chamber, and an engaging device for the chamber adapted to turn it in one direction only, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

DAVID W. TURK.
